Has Bob Lobel lost something off his fastball?

Dan Kennedy doesn't think Lobel has provided enough proof for his serious allegation against Manny Ramirez (that Ramirez took a dive in an at-bat against Mariano Rivera to protest a huge fine for knocking down the team traveling secretary).
Meanwhile, Dan Shaughnessy admits he reads blogs, in a column in which the CHB airs out his perpetual grievance against Ramirez without ever actually saying Lobel is right. Neat Shanky trick.
Jeff Louderbeck isn't buying Lobel's version, either:
... Like many members of the Boston sports media, Lobel has little credibility. Much like Dan Shaughnessy does with his written words, Lobel stirs the pot with his mouth, speaking before thinking. In fact, Lobel's words have already been dismissed by one of the few credible Boston media members, Gordon Edes of the Boston Globe. According to Edes' 3:46 p.m. post on the Extra Bases blog, Ramirez' fine was wildly overstated. ...
Which makes one wonder why Shaughnessy felt compelled to lead with Lobel's version.

Money is behind all of this. Duh!
Don't you think that Manny could buy those tickets that he wanted enough to push and knock a guy to the floor.
Get a grip...
Lobel
Bob Gamere has more credibility in this town than Lobel.
Lobel and Shank are a pair of boobs who love to make themselves part of the story. They're not. They don't count. Their opinions don't count. They are their own biggest fans. Lobel lost his fastball when he tried to get his GF access to the Pat's locker room. What a trainwreck.
